The long-distance calling rates on offer were initially available by consumers dialing <i>1</i> before the area code and phone number. Following this, a ballot process was conducted by then regulator <a href="/wiki/AUSTEL" class="mw-redirect" title="AUSTEL">AUSTEL</a>, with customers choosing their default long-distance carrier.<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Customers who made no choice or did not respond to the mailout campaign automatically remained as a Telstra long-distance customer. Customers who remained with Telstra could dial the override code of <i>1456</i> before the area code and phone number to manually select Optus as the carrier for that single call. Since 1 July 1998, consumers have the choice of preselecting their preferred long-distance carrier or dialling the override code before dialling a telephone number. </p><p>The group began by building an interstate <a href="/wiki/Fibre_optic" class="mw-redirect" title="Fibre optic">fibre optic</a> cable and a series of exchanges between Optus' interstate network and Telstra's local network. It also laid fibre optics into major office buildings and industrial areas, and focused on high bandwidth local, (interstate) long distance, and interstate calls for business. In its early years, Optus was only able to offer local and long-distance calls to residential customers through Telstra's local phone network. Telstra would carry residential to residential calls to Optus' exchanges, and then the calls would be switched to Optus' long-distance fibre optic network. </p><p>In 2024, Singtel held advanced talks with <a href="/wiki/Brookfield_Corporation" title="Brookfield Corporation">Brookfield</a> to sell a 20% stake in Optus. Brookfield and Singtel were unable to agree on terms, with Singtel claiming afterwards it remained committed to Optus and the Australian market.<sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Products_and_services">Products and services</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Optus&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Products and services"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Midland_gnangarra_0324-305.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1b/Midland_gnangarra_0324-305.jpg/220px-Midland_gnangarra_0324-305.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="147" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1b/Midland_gnangarra_0324-305.jpg/330px-Midland_gnangarra_0324-305.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1b/Midland_gnangarra_0324-305.jpg/440px-Midland_gnangarra_0324-305.jpg 2x" data-file-width="7360" data-file-height="4912" /></a><figcaption>Optus Store at <a href="/wiki/Midland_Gate" title="Midland Gate">Midland Gate</a>.</figcaption></figure> <p>Key Optus products and services include: </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Voice">Voice</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Optus&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Voice"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li>Residential and Commercial <a href="/wiki/Plain_old_telephone_service" title="Plain old telephone service">POTS</a> for local and long-distance telephony</li> <li>Commercial <a href="/wiki/VoIP" class="mw-redirect" title="VoIP">VoIP</a> and <a href="/wiki/VoDSL" class="mw-redirect" title="VoDSL">VoDSL</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Intelligent_Network" title="Intelligent Network">Intelligent Network</a> applications, such as <a href="/wiki/Toll-free_telephone_number" title="Toll-free telephone number">free call</a>, <a href="/wiki/Australian_telephone_numbering_plan#Freecall,_local_and_premium-rate_numbers" class="mw-redirect" title="Australian telephone numbering plan">1300</a> and <a href="/wiki/Interactive_voice_response" title="Interactive voice response">Interactive voice response</a> services<sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Wireless">Wireless</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Optus&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Wireless"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/3G" title="3G">3G</a>/<a href="/wiki/High_Speed_Packet_Access" title="High Speed Packet Access">HSPA</a> provided on 2100 MHz for large regional centres and metropolitan and 900 MHz for regional as well as metropolitan coverage.
